The internet is an integral part of the lives of children and young people; it is important that you the parents get involved with what they are doing online. It is important that you talk openly and regularly about your concerns and agree boundaries around their internet use. While the internet undoubtedly presents fantastic opportunities for children, it is equally clear that there are valid concerns about the risks they face online including accessing inappropriate or harmful content and cyberbullying.
